Integral Futuring

episode 277 | Mar 4, 2026 | 72min
In this conversation with Jeremy D. Johnson we explore how integral futuring can help us navigate the temporal complexity of the polycrisis and restore a living relationship with the future. Together we look at the practices of tending latent possibilities, weaving time, and cultivating the anticipatory desire that fuels meaningful cultural transformation.

Designing Good Meetings

episode 276 | Feb 20, 2026 | 89min
In this week’s conversation with Rebecca Hinds we unpack why so many meetings drain energy instead of generating clarity and momentum, exploring the rhythm and timing of effective gatherings, meeting triage and the “Four D” test, and how effective brainstorming actually works. We dive into designing and optimising meetings (and asynchronous communication), the foundations of healthy meeting culture, how AI is reshaping collaboration, and how to hold space for truly emergent conversations.

Essential Tools for Coaches in These Times

episode 275 | Feb 11, 2026 | 15min
In a solo episode with Joel Monk, he reflects deeply on a timely question facing coaches today: Why is embodied coaching not just relevant, but truly essential for the times we’re living in? Learn why navigating life with our rational mind alone is no longer enough, and how it actually cuts us off from a vast web of deeper, embodied intelligence. Plus, get two simple exercises that you can start doing right now with your clients to help them drop into their embodiment.

A Symphony of Selves

episode 273 | Jan 31, 2026 | 83min
In this conversation with Jordan Gruber we dive into the “symphony of selves”; where our inner parts come from, how they evolve, whether a single “Super Self” exists, and the concept of “right mind at the right time”. Weaving together pragmatism, mysticism, and microdosing, the episode examines how working consciously with parts (and carefully chosen dosages) can support healing, insight, and improved performance.

Navigating Complexity, Collapse & Change

episode 272 | Jan 23, 2026 | 60min
In this wide-ranging conversation with Richard David Hames we explore why sense-making has become so difficult in an era of systemic collapse, and how leadership must evolve from individual authority to a collective, values-driven practice rooted in inner work, love, and shared meaning. Together, we reflect on the power of story, the re-integration of the feminine to restore balance, the search for a worldview that serves all life, and what the current state of AI and large language models reveals about our shared existential moment.

Radical Creativity for a World in Transition

episode 271 | Jan 14, 2026 | 74min
In this conversation with Nicholas Janni and Shani Lehrer showcasing their new course, Radical Creativity, we explore the civilizational inflection point we are living through and the necessity of radical presence and inner awareness for leaders to navigate profound uncertainty without collapsing into old programs. Through engaging shadow, pain, and projected parts, the dialogue explores leadership as the capacity to align with deepest essence and integrate the Warrior and the Healer, enabling leaders to balance inner development with outer responsibility and creative response.

Relational Mindfulness

episode 270 | Jan 8, 2026 | 73min
In this conversation with Emma Donaldson-Feilder and Liz Hall we explore relational mindfulness as a living, bidirectional practice—one that weaves inner awareness with the dynamics of relationship to create coherence, depth, and genuine connection in these complex times. Through shared inquiry, shadow work, and an attunement to emergence, the conversation reveals why human presence remains irreplaceable, and how relational fields become energetic containers for real transformation.

The Power and Potential of IFS

episode 269 | Jan 7, 2026 | 85min
In this conversation with David Kitchings we explore the wide-ranging applications of Internal Family Systems, unpacking how protective parts and exiles shape our inner worlds while clarifying the essential foundations, accountability, and ethical boundaries between coaching and therapy.

Source, Money & the Next Stage of Spiritual Evolution

episode 266 | Dec 12, 2025 | 91min
In this conversation with Nadjeschda Taranczewski we explore how to attune to both the personal and impersonal dimensions of Source and create an aligned field to channel ideas through. We dive into the deeper layers of our relationship with money—from projections and hyper-capitalist conditioning to emerging economic models—and how source-driven consciousness shapes the next stage of spiritual development and world-making.
